TutorTube: Intramolecular & Intermolecular Spring 2020 Introduction Hello and welcome to TutorTube, where The Learning Center’s Tutors help you understand challenging course concepts with easy to understand videos. My name is Manal, Lead Tutor for sciences. In today’s video, we will explore different intramolecular and intermolecular forces. We will define, visualize, and compare all of these forces: covalent, ionic, metallic, London dispersion, - dipole, bonding, and -dipole. Let’s get started! Definitions To start, let’s define intramolecular and intermolecular. ‘Intra’ means within, so intramolecular forces occur within a . ‘Inter’ means between, so intermolecular forces occur between . The difference can be seen in this image.

Image 1 (“Intramolecular and Intermolecular Forces”) Covalent Bonds The three types of intramolecular forces are covalent, ionic, and . Covalent bonds occur between two . In this type of bond, the share . There are two types of covalent bonds: polar and nonpolar. Polar covalent bonds are between two atoms that have a difference in . This difference in electronegativity causes unequal sharing of electrons, resulting in the more electronegative to have a partial negative charge, and the other atom to have a partial positive charge. In this image, the intramolecular attraction is a polar bond.

Nonpolar covalent bonds are between two atoms that have equal electronegativity, which is typically two of the same atoms, or between a and a hydrogen. Electrons are shared equally, so no partial charges occur. Here is an example of a nonpolar bond.

Image 3 (“Boundless ”) Ionic bonding occurs between a cation (which can be a or polyatomic cation) and an anion (which can be a or polyatomic anion). In ionic bonds, electrons get completely transferred from the cation to the anion, resulting in full charges on the atoms, which you can see in this image.

Metallic Bonding Metallic bonding occurs between . In this type of bonding, metal atoms pack closely together, and their electrons become detached and delocalized and can move freely. A strong occurs between the delocalized electrons and the positive metal nuclei. It’s important to note that the metal atoms do not become cations, since, although the detaches, it’s still in the structure, as shown here.

Image 5 (“Intramolecular and Intermolecular Forces”) Intermolecular Forces Now that we’ve gone through the intramolecular forces, let’s review the types of intermolecular forces. Van der Waals forces are a category of intermolecular forces that includes London dispersion and dipole-dipole . Some sources also consider hydrogen bonding to be a . London dispersion forces are present between all molecules. They are a result of electron movement within the molecule, producing a temporary induced dipole with neighboring molecules. In other words, electrons move around within molecules, so there will be temporary partial positive and partial negative charges produced. London dispersion interactions occur between these partial charges on different molecules. Here is an example. 4

Dipole-dipole interactions are present between polar molecules, which are molecules that have a permanent dipole moment. These molecules have one end that’s partially negative and one end that’s partially positive. It’s important to know the difference between a polar bond and a polar molecule, since a molecule could have polar bonds and still be nonpolar. If a molecule has no polar bonds, then it’s a nonpolar molecule. If a molecule has at least one polar bond, then it may or may not be a polar molecule. For molecules with one central atom, if the molecule is unsymmetrical, or has a of electrons on the central atom, then it is a polar molecule. Because polar molecules have partially charged ends, the interactions will occur between partial positive and partial negative charges on different molecules. You can see that in this image.

Hydrogen bonding occurs between molecules containing a hydrogen bonded to , , or . These three atoms are especially electronegative compared to hydrogen, so they will create a particularly strong dipole, resulting in a stronger between molecules. The presence of hydrogen bonding in a molecule indicates a high boiling point, since it will take a lot of to overcome this interaction. Here is an example of a . 5

Another type of is ion-dipole, which occurs between an ionic and a polar compound. There are two attractive forces in ion-dipole: (1) between a cation and the partial negative end of a polar molecule (shown in Image 9), and (2) between an anion and the partial positive end of a polar molecule.

Generally, intramolecular forces are stronger than intermolecular forces. Within intermolecular forces, ion-dipole is the strongest, followed by hydrogen bonding, then dipole-dipole, and then London dispersion. Here is a summary of the forces we went over in this video:

• Intramolecular forces o Covalent . Polar covalent 6

. Nonpolar covalent o Ionic o Metallic • Intermolecular forces o London dispersion o Dipole-dipole o Hydrogen bonding o Ion-dipole
